TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND
TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND
Improving microcirculaon is the core treatment method
Advanced “Proton Vibraon Alignment” Field Technology
iRelief is a revolutionary portable therapeutic device combining
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Chinese QiGong and modern
physiotherapy. With a non-invasive approach unique to our PVA
field technology, (namely “Proton Vibration Alignment”), iRelief
works to enhance the level of posive energy ow (known as ‘Qi’
in Chinese medicine) in the user’s body through acupoints.
With over 30 years of clinical applications and research
advancement, together with the intensive research in physiology
done with the aim to investigate ways to resolve disruptions in
meridians, we come up with this new version of iRelief which
outdo all the previous models. In simple terms, meridians can
be thought of as Qi channels or pathways throughout the body
whereas acupoints are considered special entry points along the
meridians. Working on our unique PVA eld technology, iRelief will
work through the targeted acupoints to produce the opmal level
of Qi to the meridians, regulang vibraon along the meridians to
achieve improved microcirculaon and relieve pain.
Disruptions in the Qi flow (or 'microcirculation' – see remarks)
cause blockages of energy that will generally manifest as illness
or pain. According to the Chinese medicine: Wherever there
is blockage of Qi, there is pain. When Qi flows properly, pain
disappears. Pain is treated by enabling the ow of Qi. iRelief helps
clear the disrupons by the improving Qi energy ow in the body.
Remarks:
Microcirculaon refers to the ow of blood through very thin channels or
gaps between cells (smaller than 100 µm). It’s responsible for transporng
blood cells and enabling the supply of nutrients and chemical substances
to/from tissues. In simple words, microcirculation delivers oxygen and
nutrients to ssues and carries away metabolic waste from ssues.
